Few months back, things got so tough for me I had to make a U-turn that slowed me down. I was basically hot homeless at some point, but thank God for using family & friends to help. I had to go back to photography; then I enhanced it with videography. Few weeks ago I shot these:

Lately, I've noticed everybody looks OK until you eventually have a deep conversation with them. And then, you'll realize that, this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures.

Some people are natural criers. They cry when excited, they cry in grief, they cry in laughter, they cry in rage, they literally cry at any slight emotional experience or state. This is how their bodies process experiences in real time. And, that’s okay, it's who they are.

Please, if someone or a friend doesn't post about their achievements, please don't post it on their timeline to congratulate them/reveal the achievement on their behalf. Often times, there's a reason why they didn't bring it to social media.

Tbh if you know how difficult and how long it took some people to recover their peace of mind and happiness, you'll understand why they shut all doors at any slight discovery of toxicity, and also why they can be so picky about who they allow in their lives.
